Chapter 473: Chapter 284: Plague Outbreak, Deep Port! _1

Transfer Port.

Upon hearing the incidents occurring at the entrance of the Transit Sea, McLoughlin Valji immediately summons half of the assembled fleet to set sail and besiege Ivita and his companions who are trying to enter the Transfer Port.

His trusted confidant, Kertan Valji, immediately tries to dissuade him in the study. "Why not wait for the complete assembly of the fleet and then send them to stop Ivita and the others?"

"Currently, we have half of our ships still in the various minor seas of the Black Sea; we have to wait for their return. The pirates who are on good terms with us are also unable to return due to gathering resources and hunting for smugglers and merchant ships scattered throughout the Black Sea."

McLoughlin Valji suddenly turns around and looks at him, gripping his collar and saying: "Do you think I don’t want to? But I didn’t expect that the strategy used to delay these land people has failed completely."

"I had initially bribed the Governor heavily. Who knew that Central Harbour would issue such a decree, demanding that the Transfer Port allow these land people to enter the harbour."

"With about one more day, they will successfully enter the Transit Sea."

"There’s no time to assemble the ships."

McLoughlin Valji anxiously says: "I heard that the Eternal Island, one of the seven legendary pirate ships, intervened in this matter. Originally, I thought it was just a minor issue, but now it seems that it’s not simple, and it’s also quite difficult to handle."

"If we delay further, I fear that things will become even more complicated."

"That damned Ivita even killed one of my senior assistants and frightened another one out of his wits, forcing me to ask for your help now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to manage the family’s industry here. Damn it, why do the owners of these territories suddenly want them back after so many years? Damn, the damn bastards!"

"How could..." Kertan Valji listened with a surprised face, even showing fear. "Eternal Island... Good heavens, why would they intervene in this matter for these land people? Does Eternal Island want our family’s territory? Recently, we have achieved significant progress in the excavation of extraordinary materials from underwater creatures. Our main house even has the potential to become a super smuggler family in Cross Island."

"Could it be that they want our business?"

McLoughlin Valji let go of his collar and patted his shoulder. "If the Eternal Island wants something, they will make direct demands from us. So I think this time, it might just be those land people who are lucky enough to get help from Eternal Island for some reason."

"It’s also a possibility."

"Therefore, we don’t need to worry too much about the legendary pirate, Peter’s attitude when dealing with these land people."

"My cousin, we currently have two three-masted ships, fifteen two-masted ships, and fifty-seven single-masted ships at Transfer Port."

"We have 210 first-class professionals, 31 second-class professionals, four third-class professionals, and a fourth-class professional... who received assistance from a certain gentleman supported by our family."

"There are over eight hundred ordinary sailors."

"We have an army of over a thousand people. This force is more than adequate to attack some small city-states. Although there is no need for us to go after such a hard nut to crack."

"The situation is still within my control."

"Mobilize the entire army to attack them with all their might so that there will be no further changes in the situation!"

Kertan Valji nods and says, "Okay."

"I’ll go relay the orders."

...

Out on the Transfer Sea, the former port manager, Veronica Alannis, voluntarily led the way for Ivita and his crew, commanding four ships from the Transfer Port to guide Ivita’s fleet out of the harbor.

Along the way, although they encountered stray pirates, they all voluntarily moved out of the way when they saw the Codex Black Flag.

Some pirates recognized the identities of Ivita and his crew, aware that they were the notorious ’slave ship’ crew operating in the nearby waters these past few days. Fearful of getting too close to them, they quickly steered clear.

As such, Ivita and his crew, accompanied by the Naga, successfully entered the Transfer Port.

Gnarla, the Naga Fishman, observed that the officials of the pirate world seemed to have a certain respect for Ivita. They instantly felt that their tribe’s decision to worship him as a god wasn’t wrong. They seemed to be living a lot better than when they were worshipping the ’Mother of the Sea’.

Simultaneously, at the bow of the Britannia, Ivita’s flagship, they suddenly hit a shark that had a glass bottle with a small piece of parchment inside, tied to its back with a red silk ribbon.

The Hearthstone Witch reached out her hand. "Your Majesty, it seems this shark is conveying some kind of order from Central Harbour."

"There are six of us in total, and incredibly, every ship has received this order. The four ships ahead, flying the Codex Black Flag, also had sharks carrying glass bottles to them. What could be so urgent?"

Ivita told her, "Let’s open it and see."

The Hearthstone Witch opened the glass bottle and took out the parchment. Her face changed. "Gastrot’s name is on it. I’ll read it."

"This is...this is the ’Ship Hunting Order’ part of the five major laws of the pirate world. It’s a command that has to be enforced. It reads: ’Great Knight Gastrot Denny Glenjay has brought the plague to Deep Harbor, causing at least 50,000 deaths in a population of 350,000 in just a few months. He is suspected of carrying some evil god plague. All pirates, sailors, and captains of ships using pirate components, and rich merchants, bosses, and shipowners who encounter Great Knight Gastrot Denny Glenjay must immediately attack him and do everything possible to kill him, otherwise the components on your ship will lose all effects.’

’From the Upper City, Central Harbour...the Great Governor...’"

After hearing this ’Ship Hunting Order,’ Ivita’s face became strange. The ’disease’ on the child around that guy was unexpectedly severe.

No wonder he didn’t dare to stay long in Parviga and left immediately after rescuing Lady Alice.

So, he was carrying a time bomb with him all this time.

He probably let his guard down due to being in the pirate world, which has a high scum density, allowing the plague to break out in Deep Harbor.

Upon hearing the Hearthstone Witch’s words, Alabi and Juno Fowall, who were always hiding in the cabin, rushed to the deck. The family they belonged to, the Fowall smuggler family, were from Deep Harbour.

Alabi was particularly upset, crying copiously as if she was worried about the Fowall family located in Deep Harbour. Juno, on the other hand, seemed slightly surprised and then quickly turned his attention to seeking favor from Ivita.

Ivita looked at them coldly. "Haven’t I told both of you not to come out unless there’s something really important?"

"Hearthstone Witch, Wilson, we have trouble."

The two looked up to see a massive fleet appearing from the distant sea. Situated in the center of the sea, all the small pirates around were fleeing in panic.

However, some onlookers steered their ships closer, as if to watch a battle or witness something.

Ivita said, "The real attack from the Valji family...is coming..."

At this moment, Ivita and McLoughlin Valji looked at each other for the first time. McLoughlin Valji’s eyes were filled with anger, dissatisfaction, anxiety, and rage.

McLoughlin Valji’s hand rested on the hilt of his one-handed sword attached to his waist.
